My book’s going to be up for pre-order and I’m excited. Excited? No, I’m terrified!

I’m sure there’s those of you who can relate to this. You’re excited to get your baby out into the world at last.

Then there’s the inner critic who doesn’t know the concept of “Shut up.”

“You’re going to fail. Nobody’s going to read your work. If they do read it, they’ll hate it. All of this hard work has been a waste of time.”

I’d imagine there are those of you who can relate to this as well.

Well, I’m telling my inner critic to bite me. I’ve just enough stubbornness in me to prove it wrong.
